When you look at the Windows NT Application log for Microsoft Exchange
Server Event Ids, the following may appear:
The description for Event ID ( 9996 ) in Source ( MSExchangeMTA ) could
not be found.
It contains the following insertion string(s): ExitProcess called in
file:
K:\MTA\src\emsmta\sysglue\sbnilnt.c; line: 2156.
The text for this message will vary, but it will always report the
description could not be found.
CAUSE
This is a generic event that occurs when an informational condition or
error arises and there is no error string matching exactly. The event pops
up with the location in the source code of the error. More often then not
this event is informational or non-critical, and represents normal MTA
housekeeping. If an actual problem does exist; other Event IDs will be
present to indicate the problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
versions 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
